NimbostratusUTF8 Encoding Problem
Hello,
I need to add some string to a payload that is in UTF8 encoding.
When I am using any command after HTTP::collect - all the characters displayed wrong.
I found a topic about this...

EmployeeA couple of observations:
1. There are generally TWO ways to alter HTTP payloads: STREAM and HTTP::collect/payload. Once you've collected all of the required payload, you can use any manner of string manipulation or regex to manipulate the data. A STREAM profile is *almost* as flexible, but will usually run much faster than the other option.
2. You can use an iRule to manipulate a STREAM profile, and only add a generic (blank) STREAM profile to the virtual server configuration.
3. Both HTTP::collect/payload and a STREAM profile/iRule are going to work with string data. If you're having UTF8 issues with one, you'll likely have the same problem with the other.
4. Whether adding a STREAM profile or an iRule, you're modifying the virtual server configuration regardless.
Can you please elaborate on the UTF8 issue?
